D. Ariz. LRCiv 83.2
Attorney Discipline
(a) Authority. Any attorney admitted or otherwise authorized to practice
before this Court may be disbarred, disciplined, or have the order of appointment revoked
after such hearing as the Court may in each particular instance direct.
(b) Report of Action in Any Other Jurisdiction. Any attorney admitted or
otherwise authorized to practice before this Court who is disbarred or subjected to other
disciplinary action in any other jurisdiction shall promptly report the matter to this Court.
(c) Discipline in Another Jurisdiction. If an attorney admitted or otherwise
authorized to practice before this Court has been suspended or disbarred from practice by
any court of competent jurisdiction, the Court (by the Chief Judge, or designee) may
enter an order directing the attorney to show cause as to why the attorney should not be
suspended or disbarred from practice before this Court. Unless otherwise ordered by the
Court, the attorney must respond in writing to the order within fourteen (14) days after
the date on which a notice of the order is sent to the attorney. After considering any
response the attorney may submit and undertaking any other inquiry the Court deems
appropriate, the Court will decide whether any further action should be taken. If the facts
warrant such action, the Court may disbar the attorney from practice in this Court or
impose other appropriate limitations or conditions on the attorney, including the
suspension of the attorney for a fixed period of time. Notice of such action, and all other
notices required under this Rule, will be sent to the attorney at the address shown in the
Clerk's records.
(d) Notice to Clients. Within seven (7) days of the date of the sending of a
notice of suspension or a notice of other action by the Court, the attorney must file in
each action pending before this Court in which the attorney currently is counsel of record
a notice (1) setting forth the client's full name and last known mailing address and
telephone number and (2) certifying that:
(1) the attorney has notified the attorney's client involved in the action
in writing of (A) the specific limitations or conditions the Court has imposed upon the
attorney, including suspension or disbarment; (B) the status of the action, including the
dates and times of any hearings or trial settings, existing deadlines set forth in Court
Orders and the possibility of sanctions for failure to comply with those deadlines; and (C)
if applicable, the attorney's inability to provide continuing representation in the action
because the attorney has been suspended or disbarred; or
(2) the attorney's client cannot be located or for whatever other reason
cannot be provided notice as required by this Local Rule.
(e) Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct. The "Rules of Professional
Conduct," in the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Arizona, shall apply to
attorneys admitted or otherwise authorized to practice before the United States District
Court for the District of Arizona.
